The Mercat de Sant Antoni building, designed by the architect Antoni Rovira i Trias and the engineer Josep M. Cororg i Mas in 1882, is one of the most iconic buildings in Barcelona’s Eixample district. It occupies an entire block and is shaped like a Greek cross, its geometry and dimensions typical of Eixample alignments. The central octagon, crowned with a large dome, is typical of an intersection from the Cerdà Plan.
